''A Bittersweet Life'' is a KoreanWebtoon by Donggeon Lee.

It follows people from various walks of life, including a working single woman, a long-time couple, a dog, and an anthropomorphic bunny. The official English translation ran from September 27, 2014, to April 8, 2016.

It is set in the same universe as ''Webcomic/YumisCells'' and by extension ''Webcomic/DailyJoJo''.

!!''A Bittersweet Life'' contains examples of:
* BigBrotherBully: Nani forces her brother to run errands so she can laze about and threatens him when he refuses. He wishes she would get married so she would stop nagging him.
* BrutalHonesty: Bunny doesn't mince words when people come to him for advice. If they try to say something other than what they mean, Bunny translates it for them. If they ask why someone else doesn't want to date them, Bunny plainly says they're not interested.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: In the final episode, Heunghoon and Dongsu prepare to part ways, only for them to end up sticking together for longer until the warm feeling of saying goodbye has fizzled out.
* GhostInTheMachine: Bob Joh has little people inside that work his heart, mouth, eyes, and brain. There is also a bum in his stomach that makes him hungry in spite of the brain's laziness.
* MedalOfDishonor: In Episode 22, Bunny gathers the main four for the Bitter Awards. The awards are for the highest credit card bill (shared between the two women), most unpaid taxes, and the grand prize with specific requirements of being a lonely, single loser.
* MilestoneBirthdayAngst: When everyone's turning 30 at the end of the year, the girls are upset that someone had to bring that up. Nani acts nonchalant, claiming she's still 29 because she started school early, which nobody buys. She gets violent when they call her out on her lies.
